There is a reason why SD in Newcastle and the Metrocentre never closed down. The amount of people who boycotted his stores was small and insignificant.

You can choose to believe that most Newcastle fans stayed clear of his shop all you like, or you could wake up to the fact a lot of those who even said they did, never did. It’s just like the people who said they boycotted, but didn’t. Or those who called for a boycott, or called for a late walk in against West Ham, and didn’t bother.

Anyway, no boycotts of his tat would have worked. It was great to buy the kids stuff for school outward bound stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally unrelated but reminded me of the Eisenegger shop in the Metro Centre. People of a certain age will remember their perpetual closing down sale and 90% off discount on shirts that were definitely never on sale for the tag price.

TheBrownBottle Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 7 hours ago, Holloway said: I was talking about the 'fans' who continued to shop there as he ran us into the ground The ‘boycoutt’ was an online shouty campaign, with one march on a shop. I doubt the majority were aware that there was one, and if they were weren’t going to pay more to get their kids PE clobber in order to get warm fuzzies and internet kudos. For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t shop in his stores and refused to return to SJP - but I can’t condemn people in the poorest region of Grear Britain for wanting to buy sports gear as cheaply as they can. It feels like the middle-classes having a pop for the working-classes for not ensuring everything they buy is organic, whilst being blissfully unaware of what really having to budget looks like.

I was just thinking along the lines of jumping ship to a retailer competing at the same level.
